Jennifer “Jenn” Hopper, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), 500 RYT, 200 ERYT, found yoga in 2008 while working at a commercial gym in Roanoke. That led to becoming certified in a yoga, Thai chi, Pilates class in 2010. In 2012, she moved out of state with her best friend and met her husband. She found a Groupon deal for a yoga studio there and attended her first class then started teaching classes shortly after. Fast forward to 2014 and Jenn signed up for a yoga teacher training program and completed her 200 hour YTT at The Om Place in Winchester, KY under Erin Smith. Jenn taught at the yoga studio in Kentucky for 8 years and moved back to VA in 2020, right before the pandemic hit.
